Ripple Secures Strategic Advantage in Legal Battle with SEC
Ripple has gained a significant advantage in its ongoing legal dispute with the SEC following a crucial decision by a US appellate court. The court rejected the SEC’s request for a substantial disgorgement award without requiring proof of investor harm. This ruling is pivotal as Ripple prepares to counter the SEC’s claims in upcoming court filings due by April 22.
The outcome of this case, which centers on allegations of unregistered securities offerings, could greatly influence the legal battle in Ripple’s favor.
The legal developments and SEC activities have directly impacted the cryptocurrency market, particularly affecting the valuation of XRP, as explained in the CNF YouTube video. Recently, XRP experienced a slight decline of 1.52%, closing at $0.6087. These fluctuations highlight the market’s sensitivity to regulatory actions and legal outcomes, which are expected to continue influencing investor decisions and cryptocurrency trends.

Uniswap Challenges SEC’s Authority
Marvin Ammori, Chief Legal Officer at Uniswap Labs, has publicly criticized the SEC’s recent Wells notice against Uniswap, calling it an abuse of power. This criticism comes in the wake of several negative legal outcomes for the SEC, including a federal judge’s accusation of misrepresentation in a cryptocurrency case and unfavorable rulings in the Ripple and Grayscale cases.
Ammori argues that most digital tokens, including btc, eth, stablecoins, and meme coins, do not meet the definition of securities. He also points to recent legal precedent, such as the SEC vs. Coinbase case, which supports the argument that the Uniswap Protocol and its associated services do not qualify as securities exchanges or brokers. Read Ammori’s full statement in his tweet for more insights.
Coinbase Highlights Regulatory Inconsistencies
Paul Grewal, Chief Legal Officer at Coinbase, took a lighthearted approach in commenting on the contradictions in the SEC’s claims against Uniswap following the recent court ruling in favor of Coinbase. Grewal humorously questions the consistency of the SEC’s regulatory enforcement, noting the impossibility of reconciling the SEC’s position with the court’s decision. Follow the conversation and get more details from Grewal’s tweet.
Market Dynamics and XRP’s Future
As previously highlighted by CNF, the upcoming trial between Ripple and the SEC could be a defining moment for XRP’s price. Currently trading at $0.61, XRP has shown resilience by gaining 5.38% over the past week, despite a slight decrease of 1.15% in the past day. CNF’s forecasts suggest that a favorable legal outcome for Ripple could potentially trigger a significant rally for XRP.
